The company is a partnership between restaurateurs Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson and Bobby Stuckey, known for their high-end, award-winning eatery Frasca Food and Wine, and Chipotle Mexican Grill.

The restaurants are patterned after Boulder's Pizzeria Locale, also started by Stuckey and Mackinnon-Patterson, and Chipotle's fast-casual service model.

"Cincinnati is a dynamic city with a vibrant and quickly-expanding restaurant scene," said Operations Director Chris Donato. "This city is an ideal fit for Pizzeria Locale, and we're looking forward to joining the community."
